[News] Capcom Removes Islamic Phrase From Wii Game

1. Some quotes form Gaf which can explain the issue further
"maybe it was just an old stock audio file and none of the developers knew what it was"
^^Highest possibilty^^

"Muslims would probably find this offensive because it is a phrase used a lot during praying and worship. and seeing as how those savages were performing some kind of ritual it would probably hint that those savages were somehow related to Muslims.
SAVAGES=MUSLIMS, got it?


in the end they took out the sound (which sounded totally out of place anyway) , no harm done and thank you Capcom for responding to the matter."

2. Sometimes jap mess with religions do this to show thier obscene creativity

3. Now this is my point and not brought up anyone any where on net yet,
undying , the pc game had same text wriiten in otherworld.
The game was anned not in muslim countries but by china and singapore siezed the copies, saying that this was done deliberatley to represent the evil guy onerus(ohterworld boss) believes in muslim God, justified by same scripture written in his world. It haopened back then, later a patch was released to remove it. Now when i search no stories can be found, wonder why.

4. The text/word used is not problem but see the context.
In cairo shantytown(deusex2) , there is whole prayer of Islam in Mosque, but developers were intelligent enough to not include any heavy music or chant, and it was fitting the context without any DISRESPECT. And no ban or protest against that.

5. For all people who don't give a shit about thier own religion, i dont expect that you will understand jack shit about other religions and their sensitive parts.

6. More reason for offence
From shacknews
"The offending scene depicts several adorable 'monsters' slowly circling a pole in what appears to be a sacred dance. At one point, they pause to fill 'skulls' with soup from an oversized pot".

Using skulls, tribaldance, monsters/savages is purely satanic practice in Islam to beginwith, now they have used the most Holy sentence in conjunction with these, which offended Muslims and therefore removal is rightly justified, case closed.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I personally don't hear enough Jews and Christians bitching that their religious texts are being abused in video games, but maybe that is because those particular religions don't have as much respect for their own religion than Muslims do?

Exactly that was my point, Jews and christians dont't give any respect to their religion, its thier mistake.
But when it comes to Gays/lesbian rights and stuff, evryone becomes sensitive. Morals more than religion, irony of life.
I think other religion people also should start respecting their religion. Don't make religion fun or playground.

I don't know your background, if this statement is manifestation of your personal grudge against Muslim or what, but Islam is really big religion and expanding. The rate of convertees form other religion to Islam is highest, and when you talk about extremists they are in minority, not even 20%.
There are blacksheeps in every religion, don't take them as criteria to judge the whole religion.( i have met so many christians who also support gay rights and pride like hell,most of them even are homo, if i were to act like you then i would be considering every chriastian as gay, which is totally stupid).

Most of the times these people do whatever they want in wake of Islamic teachings but read the principles of religion if its actually there in books rather than bashing whole religion for acts of stupid extremist people.

These people you are referring to had infact gained cult status wihtin Islam and spoiling image but remember they are only nominally Islamic.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

CHILL THE FUCK OUT, BITCHES!!!

However I always did fail to see the difference between "religious groups" and "cults" arn't they both kind of along a similar line? Just that one is goverment recongized of course

If there won't be any attack there won't be any defense.
And its SO defensive because attack was SO out of order, totally illogical.

AT WHAT POINT RELIGION BECOMES CULT?
I use Lovecraft theories on these matters, as it defines cults nature and terminology in detail.
I don't see any difference between these 2, but cults are normally short in density and are discrete in nature. Just like extremists or present day assasins(ismailis) etc.

And i am cool , not offended by anyones remarks.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

No not preaching at all, its just that people were unaware of the offensive material which i cleared out.
Now if i will defend myself , someone will say why i am So defensive, so i will stop here.
Anyway, there isn't much to talk about in this thread.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
